[The Hague, 25th Archyde.com]-The Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte announced on the 25th that he will allow the bar, restaurant and theater, which had been closed since mid-December last year, to open from the 26th. The number of people infected with the new coronavirus remains at record levels, but regulations have been further relaxed.
Health Minister Kyperth said experts have determined that the economy can resume, as hospitalization rates for Omicron strains are lower than initially worried.
Bars, restaurants and theaters are open from 5am to 10pm. However, the number of people that can be accommodated will be smaller than usual, and social distance rules will be enforced.
General admission to sporting events, zoos, museums and theme parks will also be resumed.
Meanwhile, the infection remains high, and the National Institute for Public Health and Environment (RIVM) announced on the 25th that the number of newly infected people in the past week was 366,120, a record high, an increase of 51% from the previous week. ..
